deeper_merge: Recursively merges two or more hashes together and returns the resulting hash. For example: $hash1 = {'one' => 1, 'two' => 2, 'three' =hiera_facts::facts_backend:
Type: Ruby 3.x API
Recursively merges two or more hashes together and returns the resulting hash.
For example:
$hash1 = {'one' => 1, 'two' => 2, 'three' => { 'four' => 4 } }
$hash2 = {'two' => 'dos', 'three' => { 'five' => 5 } }
$merged_hash = deeper_merge($hash1, $hash2)
# The resulting hash is equivalent to:
# $merged_hash = { 'one' => 1, 'two' => 'dos', 'three' => { 'four' => 4, 'five' => 5 } }
$hash1 = { 'key1' => [ 'arrayvalue1', 'arrayvalue2' ] }
$hash2 = { 'key1' => [ 'arrayvalue2', 'arrayvalue3' ] }
$merged_hash = deeper_merge($hash1, $hash2)
# The resulting hash is equivalent to:
# $merged_hash = { key1' => [ 'arrayvalue1', 'arrayvalue2', 'arrayvalue3' ] }
